The carriage dispute between Univision and DISH continues to heat up with four more of the Hispanic media company’s networks going dark on the satellite provider.
Univision Deportes, El Rey Network, FOROtv and TLNovelas join the blackout, which has now entered its fifth month.
The four networks went dark on DISH on Monday, November 12 at 10 p.m. ET.
The carriage deal with Univision, Unimás and Galavisión expired June 30.
Univision Deportes and El Rey are newer networks, so carriage was negotiated on a separate contract.
Only Fusion remains on the satellite provider, which was secured on another agreement.
Not missing them
Dish, a smart company
Dish smart? Dish Network continued to shed satellite TV customers in the third quarter — with the pressure of cord-cutting amplified by the ongoing blackout of Univision programming. And Dish’s unprecedented loss of HBO last week threatens to make the situation even worse.
Who knows if at&t, comcast will follow suit, in that case univision is done…
Meh. We’re not missing much. Narco Novelas, Chismes de la farandula, la agenda pro-ilegales de Jorge Ramos. The only reason I kept watching Univision was the soccer games – and they manage to ruin that experience as well. It used to take two people to narrate a game…now it’s a whole gang making smart-ass comments. Good riddance. I hope they tank for good.
